00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Slide Master and Slide Design in LibreOffice Impress. |
00:08 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to apply: Backgrounds for slides Layouts for slides. |
00:15 | Here we are using: GNU/Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
00:24 | Background refers to all the colors and effects applied to the slide which are present behind the content. |
00:32 | LibreOffice Impress has many background options that help you create better presentations. |
00:38 | You can even create your own custom backgrounds. |
00:43 | Let’s open the presentation "Sample-Impress.odp". |
00:48 | Let’s create a custom background for our presentation. |
00:52 | We shall also apply this background to all the slides in the presentation. |
00:57 | We shall use the Slide Master option to create this background. |
01:02 | Any change made to the Master slide is applied to all the slides in the presentation. |
01:08 | From the Main menu, click View, select Master and click on Slide Master. |
01:15 | The Master Slide appears. |
01:18 | Notice that the Master View toolbar is also visible. You can use this to create, delete and rename Master Pages. |

01:37 | From the Tasks pane, click on Master Pages. |
01:41 | The "Used in This Presentation" field displays the Master slides used in this presentation. |
01:49 | The Master slide is like a template. |
01:51 | You can set formatting preferences here which are then applied to all the slides in the presentation. |
01:58 | First, from the Slides pane, let’s select Slide 1. |
02:03 | Let’s apply a white background to this presentation. |
02:07 | From the Main menu, click on Format and click Page. |
02:12 | The Page Setup dialog-box appears. |
02:16 | Click the Background tab. |
02:18 | From the Fill drop-down menu, select the option Bitmap. |
02:24 | From the list of options, select Blank and click OK. |
02:29 | The slide now has a white background. |
02:32 | Notice that the existing text color doesn’t show up very well against the background. |
02:38 | Always choose a color that is visible distinctly against its background. |
02:44 | Let’s change the color of the text to black. This will make the text clearly visible against the white background. |
02:52 | First select the text. |
02:55 | From the Main menu, click Format and select Character. |
02:59 | The Character dialog-box appears. |
03:03 | From the Character dialog-box, click Font Effects tab. |
03:08 | From the Font Color drop-down, select Black. |
03:12 | Click OK. |
03:15 | The text is now black in color. |
03:18 | Now, let’s apply a color to the slide. |
03:21 | Right-click on the slide for the context menu and click Slide and Page Setup. |
03:27 | From the Fill drop down menu, select the option Color. Select Blue 8 and click OK. |
03:36 | Notice that the light blue color we selected is applied to the slide. |
03:42 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. Create a new Master Slide and apply the color red as the background. |
03:52 | Let’s now learn how to add another design element to this presentation. |
03:57 | For example, you can add a logo to your presentation. |
04:01 | Look at the Basic Shapes toolbar in the bottom of your screen. |
04:06 | You can use it to draw a variety of basic shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and ovals. |
04:16 | Let’s draw a rectangle in the Title area of the slide. |
04:21 | From the Basic Shapes toolbar, click on Rectangle. |
04:25 | Now, move the cursor to the top left corner of the slide, in the Title area. |
04:31 | You will see a plus sign with a capital 'I'. |
04:36 | Hold the left-mouse-button and drag to draw a small rectangle. |
04:41 | Now, release the mouse button. |
04:44 | You have drawn a rectangle! |
04:47 | Notice the eight handles on the rectangle. |
04:50 | Handles or control points are the small blue squares that appear on the sides of the selected object. |
04:58 | We can use these control-points to adjust the size of the rectangle. |
05:03 | As you hover your cursor over the control point, the cursor changes to a double-sided arrow. |
05:10 | This indicates the directions in which the control point can be moved to manipulate the basic shape. |
05:17 | Let’s enlarge this rectangle so that it covers the title area completely. <Pause> |
05:25 | We can format these shapes too! |
05:28 | Right-click on the rectangle to view the context menu. |
05:32 | Here, you can choose various options to modify the rectangle. |
05:37 | Click on Area. The Area dialog-box appears. |
05:43 | In the Fill field, from the drop-down menu, choose Color. |
05:48 | Choose Magenta 4 and click OK. |
05:52 | The color of the rectangle has changed. |
05:56 | The rectangle has now covered the text. |
05:59 | To make the text visible, first select the rectangle. |
06:03 | Now right-click to open the context menu. |
06:07 | Click on Arrange and then Send to back. |
06:12 | The text is visible again! |
06:15 | Here the rectangle has moved behind the text. |
06:19 | In the Tasks pane, click on the preview of the Master Page. |
06:23 | Right-click and select Apply to All Slides. |
06:27 | Close the Master View by clicking on the Close Master View button. |
06:33 | The formatting changes made in the Master are applied to all the slides in the presentation now. |
06:40 | Notice that the rectangle is also displayed in all the pages. |
06:45 | Let us learn to change the layout of the slide. |
06:49 | What are Layouts? Layouts are slide templates that are pre-formatted for position of content with place holders. |
06:59 | To view the slide layouts, from the right panel, click Layouts. |
07:04 | The layouts available in Impress are displayed. |
07:07 | Look at the layout thumbnails. It gives you an idea of how the slide will appear after the layout has been applied. |
07:16 | There are layouts with titles and two-column formats, layouts where you can position text in three columns and so on. |
07:25 | There are also blank layouts. You can apply a blank layout to your slide and then create your own layouts. |
07:32 | Let’s apply a layout to a slide. |
07:35 | Select the slide Potential Alternatives and delete all text. |
07:44 | Now, from the Layouts pane on the right-hand side, select Title 2 Content over Content. |
07:51 | The slide now has three text-boxes and a title area. |
07:56 | Notice that the rectangle we inserted using the Master page is still visible. |
08:02 | This rectangle can only be edited using the Master slide. |
08:07 | The settings in the Master-slide override any formatting changes or layouts applied to slides. |
08:15 | Let’s enter content in these boxes now. |
08:19 | In the first text-box, type: "Strategy 1 PRO: Low cost CON: slow action". |
08:28 | In the second text-box, type: "Strategy 2 CON: High cost PRO: Fast Action". |
08:40 | In the third text-box, type: "Due to lack of funds, Strategy 1 is better". |
08:48 | You can similarly choose the layout type that is most suited to your presentation. |
08:54 | This concludes this tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt how to apply:Backgrounds for slides Layouts for slides. |
